Selling and buying something else you want keep and doing a cost seg in would help with the tax burden probably better in this situation.

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.

The country is great for lifestyle and I believe most American (and other foreigners) buy for lifestyle.

An investor who is buying the duplex next to mine wants to trade a duplex he owns in a neighborhood nearby so he can have 2 duplexes next to each other (long story no need for those details). 

Just a thought or buy a bizzness that will do far better than rentals. 

Leverage  anything in the US  so you can  use the cash to buy in CR  ( US home / 401K / other assets ..etc)  ...pura vida !

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Duck Creek Village.

If you sell for a net sales price of $1 mil and buy for a net purchase price of $700K you will owe tax on the difference of $300K.BP may have a capital gains calculator you can use.  

You said you've owned the property for 8 years; that's like 2017 which was a prime time to buy.
